Before being drafted into the NHL, Sjöström played for Frölunda HC in Sweden throughout the 2000-2001 season. After being drafted 11th overall in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft by the Phoenix Coyotes, Sjöström would move to North America to play for the Calgary Hitmen in the Western Hockey League (WHL).

During the 2003–04 season, Sjöström would split time between the Springfield Falcons in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Phoenix Coyotes in the National Hockey League (NHL). He would make his NHL debut on November 30, 2003 against the Boston Bruins. Sjöström would score his first NHL goal and point on December 12, 2003 against the Edmonton Oilers.

Sjöström would spend the entire 2004–05 season playing in the AHL for the Utah Grizzlies before returning to the Phoenix Coyotes a season later. On July 13, 2006, Sjöström signed a one-way, two-year contract extension worth $1.5 million with the Coyotes.[1] On October 11, 2007 Sjöström would score a hat trick in a 6–3 victory against the Nashville Predators. Later that season, Sjöström would be traded alongside Josh Gratton and David LeNeveu and a 5th round draft pick to the New York Rangers for Marcel Hossa and Al Montoya.[2]

On July 1, 2009, Sjöström signed a two-year, $1.5 million contract with the Calgary Flames.[3]Sjöström would struggle to produce on the Flames, only scoring a single goal and 5 assists in 46 games. On January 31, 2010, Sjöström would be apart of a multi-player trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs alongside Dion Phaneuf and Keith Aulie in exchange for Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Ian White, and Jamal Mayers.[4] Sjöström's struggles would continue with the Maple Leafs, only scoring a total of 10 points in his two seasons with the team.
